Dear coleagues,
I have a simple question and I would appreciate any help
I am a software developer and I have two applications in C/C++. One is
a RPC (remote Procedure Calls) server application and resides on a
server machine. The second one is a RPC client application and resides
on a client machine. The two machines are connected via the Internet.
Both machine run WindowsNT 4.0 operating system.
Because they exchange data over the Internet, I need to add security to
the connection.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) looks like a good security solution. Is the
name "socket" generic and refers to Network communication in general?
Or it implies "sockets" as a particular mechanism for communication?
The most common communication mechanisms for Win32 operation systems are
RPC, DCOM, Windows Sockets. DCOM is in fact a higher level RPC. Can I
use SSL if my applications are RPC or DCOM applications?
